Tarantino was upset that The Hateful Eight appeared on Gawker’s Defamer blog. "There was nothing newsworthy or journalistic about Gawker Media facilitating and encouraging the public's violation of [Tarantino's] copyright in the screenplay, and its conduct will not shield Gawker Media from liability for their unlawful activity," the lawsuit states.

The popular website have hit back, saying they were just one of the players involved in the widespread availability of the high-profile leak. "News of the fact that it existed on the internet advanced a story that Tarantino himself had launched, and our publication of the link was a routine and unremarkable component of our job: making people aware of news and information about which they are curious,'' the site's editor-in-chief John Cook said.

He told the entertainment website Deadline that, because he could not trust the six people he showed the script to, he "no desire to make it. I'll publish it. I'm done," explained, confirming the script may be turned into a novel.
